I took out three porcelain bowls from the cupboard and scooped three bowls. There were no seasonings in ancient times, but I remembered that I had seasonings in my kitchen. I took them out with chili oil, salt, chicken essence, and soy sauce. Three bowls of salty tofu pudding were ready. I sprinkled some chopped green onions on them. It was perfect.

I followed the same method and made three bowls of sweet tofu pudding. Of course, the sugar was also from the kitchen. I don't know what flavor grandpa and grandma like, so I just ordered a bowl of both.

The remaining bean dregs were not wasted. Beat two eggs, add some chopped green onions and salt, and make delicious bean dregs cakes.

"Grandpa and grandma, it's time for breakfast." Sui He brought tofu pudding and bean dregs to the table and asked grandpa and grandma, who were still packing up, to eat.

"Why are there two kinds?" Grandpa looked at the two bowls of tofu pudding on the table. One bowl was white with a spoonful of white particles on it, and the other bowl should be seasoning. But why was this seasoning different from what he had seen before?

"This is tofu pudding. I made two flavors, one is sweet and the other is salty. Come and try it to see if it tastes good." Sui He placed two bowls of different tofu puddings in front of his grandparents.

"Really? Let me try something sweet." Second Grandma likes sweets. When she heard that this bowl of tofu pudding was sweet, she thought it was made with brown sugar, but there was no brown sugar in the bowl.

"Grandma, just stir it and you can eat it," Sui He said

Second Grandma followed Sui He's instructions, mixed the tofu pudding in the bowl, scooped a mouthful into her mouth, and didn't know what kind of sugar it was, but it was so sweet. The sweet tofu pudding was swallowed without chewing, it was delicious

My second grandfather prefers a stronger taste, so he eats the bowl of salty tofu pudding.

Sui He also prefers spicy food, so he took a bowl of salty tofu pudding and slurped it up. It was salty, fragrant and spicy. Ah, it has been a long time since I had food with such rich seasoning. It was so delicious.

"Cough, cough, cough." Sui He, who was still savoring the delicious food, was attracted by a violent cough. The second grandfather, who had never eaten chili before, was choked by the chili and started coughing violently, his face flushed.

Sui He quickly took the water beside him and handed it to him: "Grandpa, drink some water and eat slowly"

The second grandfather took the water and drank it all in one breath: "Sui Sui, why does this taste so weird? It choked me."

"Grandpa, this is chili oil, it's a little spicy, eat it slowly, if you're not used to it, try something sweet." Because Sui He was afraid that the two old people might not be used to it, he only put a small half spoonful of chili oil.

"No one is trying to snatch it from you, why are you in such a hurry?" Second Grandma ate the sweet tofu pudding in her bowl leisurely, and did not forget to mock Second Grandpa.

"It's okay. It's okay. This taste is really intoxicating." After the second grandfather recovered, he scooped another mouthful into his mouth, and then ate it one bite after another.

Seeing that both of them were used to the tofu pudding, Sui He also started to eat his own tofu pudding with bean curd dregs egg pancake, which was very satisfying.

"Ahem." Well, this time it was Second Grandma who was choked. Second Grandpa passed the water to Second Grandma with ease.

"You're still blaming me, why are you eating so fast? I'm not trying to snatch it from you."

The second grandma drank some water and said, "I still prefer sweet food."

"I like salty food, not sweet food. This bowl is for you." The second grandfather handed the sweet tofu pudding to the second grandmother, and took the salty tofu pudding from the second grandmother's hand and ate it with the bean curd cake.

The three of them sat on the stools after eating and drinking.

"How are grandpa and grandma? The tofu pudding is delicious, right?" Sui He said

"It's delicious, especially the salty one. I can eat two more bowls of it." The second grandfather smacked his lips, savoring the taste.

"If you ask me, sweet tofu pudding is still the best." Second Grandma also spoke up

"What's so delicious about sweet tofu pudding? Only you girls like to eat sweets."

“Sweet and delicious”

“A bit salty”

"Sui Sui, what do you think?" I was still thinking that there was a dispute over salty and sweet tofu pudding in ancient times, when I suddenly heard this sentence. I looked up and found that my grandparents were looking at me. The scene fell into a strange silence.

He swallowed and said, "Haha, I'm not picky, they're all delicious, they're all delicious, you guys take your time, I'm going to go make tofu."

After saying this, Sui He ran away. Are you kidding? She can't afford to offend either of them. Run!

Back in the kitchen, he placed the mold he had just made in the county on the table. A piece of fine cotton cloth was placed inside the mold. Sui He scooped the snow-white tofu pudding from the pot into the mold. When it was almost full, he placed the white cloth on top, put another wooden board on top, and then placed two large stones on top.

Under the pressure of the stone, streams of water flowed out of the mold, and there was still a lot of water left in the pot. I made two plates of tofu.

When no more water comes out of the mold, the tofu is ready.

After eating and drinking, the second grandfather went to the homestead. It was said that the blue bricks would be brought over today, and he had to go and watch, after all, blue bricks were very expensive.

"Sui Sui, do you think this can really be sold?" Second Grandma was still a little worried. After all, she had never seen tofu, let alone sold it.

"Grandma, is tofu pudding delicious?" Sui He did not answer her, but asked

"It's delicious," the second grandmother replied.

"That's right. Tofu pudding is delicious, so how can tofu be bad? And didn't grandpa say that his former master also liked to eat tofu? Those scholars also like to eat it, so how can it not be sold?"

"If you are still worried, grandma, I will cook tofu for you in the evening. You can try it first." In order to dispel the second grandma's worries, Sui He decided to make some tofu for grandma in the evening. It happened that she hadn't eaten it for a long time. She would like to make some mapo tofu and tofu soup.

When the water in the mold has almost flowed out, press the edge gently with your hand and you will know that the tofu is formed.

Remove the stone and the mold, and use a thin rope to evenly divide the whole block of tofu into 16 pieces.

Suihe cut the two tofu into small pieces and fried them in a pan until both sides were golden brown. Then, she added seasonings and stir-fried them. A fragrant fried tofu dish was soon ready. Grandma couldn't eat spicy food, so Suihe didn't add any chili peppers.

Cut the tofu into finger-sized pieces, put them into a pot, boil the water, beat the egg, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a bowl of tofu soup is ready.

Wait till dinner is served

The second grandma took the first bite and immediately praised it: "This tofu is really delicious!" Seeing this, Sui He smiled and said: "Grandma, look, tofu is so delicious, it will definitely sell for a good price! And tofu can be eaten by men, women, young and old."

"It's really good. Even people with bad teeth can eat it. No wonder the master liked it so much back then." The second grandfather also nodded.

"Grandpa, we made too much tofu today and we can't finish it. I want to try it on the street tomorrow," Sui He said.

Second Grandpa thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I've thought it through. I'll charge four cents for a pound of soybeans, and one pound of soybeans will make three and a half pounds of tofu. A piece of my tofu weighs half a pound, so I'm going to sell it for three cents a piece." Sui He stated his price.

"??? Three cents a piece?" Second Grandpa frowned and looked at Sui He

"Yes, I have calculated it. Making tofu is too hard. We have to take our labor and time into account. We are few in number and can't make much tofu in a day. Three cents a piece is not expensive." Sui He thought that his second grandfather thought the price was too high, so he hurriedly explained.

"I don't think your price is too high. Let's just leave it at three cents a piece."

"Well, I'll go into town tomorrow morning."
